Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of apartheid, the narrative explores the complex emotions of a young boy navigating his relationships with his father, whom he despises, and his mother, whom he both adores and resents. Coetzee's evocative storytelling captures the themes of race, caste, and shame, intertwined with moments of bewildering humor. This poignant coming-of-age tale offers a profound reflection on identity and societal constraints, marking a significant addition to Coetzee's body of work.
